A review by kinosthesia
Night Flight by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

4.0

More a novella than a novel it charts a short period of time in the South Americas and the relationship between an Inspector, a controller and the pilots who fly the mail across the continent and across the world. As in Southern Mail, the language is lyrical and poetic and captures the lives of these people so well without being overly sentimental. Its philosophical and easy to apply the thoughts, ideas and scenarios to one's own life as a metaphorical subtext.
